I’ve been sitting here in a daze, hypnotized by the footage of the Japan earthquake and tsunami. The earthquake was a massive 8.9 on the Richter scale and hit in north-eastern Japan a little after 2PM local time.

The resulting tsunami has hit Japan, Hawaii and is headed for the west coast of the USA.

HOG best wishes to all of those affected by the earthquake and tsunami. Stay safe.

Hope it makes people not involved in such a horrendous diaster, some time to stop, & re-think what things are truly important in life & how happy we should be for our health, the health of our children, our homes still standing & family nearby, or at least safe. We take too much for granted when there is so much hurt going on in the world.
